Emax

I have an older Performa 6214CD.
The RS422 works great.

Note that on some models of older Macs, if you use the printer port instead
of the modem port, you may also have trouble as the printer port wasn't
given all the capability the modem port. Syncing may not work right at
higher transfer speeds.
In those, if you had an internal modem, they covered the modem port.

So you would remove the internal modem and then you could use the modem port
and the sync would work....

A model by model analysis is available at lowendmac.

regards,
Ted
